3:25am “But the pleasure isn't owning the person, the pleasure is this. Having another contender with you” - Philip Roth, The Human Stain.
Detective Yatz
Daphne Yatz was exhausted and wanted nothing more than for this clean up to be over. Her hair was a wild frizzy mess, she sniffed herself and she smelt awful. She had been at the crime scene for the last four hours and was frankly starving. Why did people always have to get murdered around teatime? It was ridiculously inconvenient; not only because it was a Friday night but the one night in months she had arranged a date. But perhaps most, it meant everyone worked whilst hangry, Daphne especially.
Hello?
“Hello?” I looked at the caller ID, Unknown. Silence “Hello? Anyone there?” I could hear breathing on the other end of the line. It was heavy, ragged, desperate.

It’s all in the password. Things hadn't gone as planned. James stood on the front of the porch and watched as the thick snow came down.
Shelf Price
The fluorescence that poured from the shop windows coated a figure in its cold warmth as he inches closer toward the shop door. A bell that echoes of minimum wage alerts the lonely clerk behind a dingy fibreboard counter of his presence. A jolt of life journeys from the clerks leant arms on the counter and activates his autopilot greeting “gday mate how r ya?”

Mrs Brizzi was the name she went by when I knew her — Breetzi, pronounced the Italian way with a rolling ‘r’, because that’s how her sixth and final husband, a handbag mogul from Milan, pronounced it before he was crushed to death by a bull that escaped from a leather farm.
Zoë Hazel ThomasPublished 3 years ago in CriminalA Little Black Book's Purpose
Little black books got a bad wrap, the little black book thought to itself, as its owner used yet another blood smeared fingertip to turn its delicate yellowing pages. Honestly, if the man would just clean his fingers first, the little black book thought, maybe the other little books would talk to me. The dictionary was absolutely terrified of the little black book. Every time they shared a room together, the ridiculous book would shutter, losing a page or two with words like “terrified” or “murderer” defined on them.
Elizabeth MillerPublished 3 years ago in CriminalA Series Of Minor Incidents
Accidents happen. He accidentally crashed out of bed to the sound of his blaring alarm that morning, and he definitely accidentally screamed at his neighbors’ kids through the window when he saw them snipping flower buds off the peony bush in his yard.

The plan was supposed to be simple. Bury him. Look into his connections. Maintain a level head and slowly take out whatever cash you can. Dispose of all remaining evidence when finished. Forget.
20y/o PerspectivePublished 3 years ago in CriminalThe Cookie Baroness dies
The elegant hall was filled with cheap, wooden chairs - one of those that give you uncomfortable tingling in the spine just by looking at them. I tried to count the seats and got lost at 43. All of them were already taken with more onlookers crowding in the aisle, leaning against the walls or crouching in the very first row. With the windows tightly shut, the air indoors was heavy, almost damp from breaths getting out of dozens of chests. I looked at the faces of those who had arrived: some of them I knew, some looked familiar - the almond-shaped eyes, long, thin fingers with oval nails or narrow lips - those are features characteristic to our family.
The Japanese Gardens
My brother Noah is a drug dealer. At 2:00 am last night, the cops barged down our door and took him away. I’m a deep sleeper, so it took me a while to realise it wasn’t just Dad coming in late from work again.
